Okay, I have a time machine and am willing to send you back to one of two places. Either you can be a peasant in 1930s Siberia, or you can be a Cherokee in 1870s America. Since both are the same, I assume you’ll just be flipping a coin.
The USSR abolished the imperial system of Tsarist Russia. The soviets then established protections for ethnic minorities, even giving more land to Ukraine in order to solidify their identity. The national question was taken incredibly seriously. It isn’t at all the same as the USA, which is a genocidal settler-colony that wiped out indigenous peoples and brought countless slaves over, and to make that comparison and equate them is to minimize the actual, real crimes of the US Empire.
I mean how the USSR inherited the imperialist practices of exploiting and oppressing the provinces to strengthen the centre.
Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Siberia, Belarus. All suffered greatly so the Rus could have power.
Its the same story as in the USA. Native Americans and imported slaves suffered so the elite can make their money.

This is a bunch of idiotic nonsense for one but more importantly does not address what I said at all.
